7.2.3 Manual cleaning
Prior to disinfection, clean and dry disassembled accessory items manu-
ally as follows:
Z Transducer:
Clean transducer (15) and rinse transducer channel with a cleaning
gun.
Clean the transducer with a suitable cleaning rod (2167.508) first from
the distal end, then from the proximal end (tube connector). Ensure
that the transducer channel is clean and free of residues through its
entire length.
Clean the flange surface of the transducer with a brush.
Clean the transducer channel with a cleaning gun, and dry the channel
with compressed air, the transducer surface with a cloth.
Z Sonotrodes:
Clean sonotrodes (16) and rinse sonotrode channel with a cleaning
gun.
Clean sonotrodes with a suitable cleaning rod (25) first distally (A),
then proximally (B adapter flange) from both ends. Ensure that the so-
notrode channel is clean and free of residues over its entire length.
Clean the flange surface of the sonotrode with a brush.
Clean the sonotrode channel with a cleaning gun, and dry the channel
with compressed air, and the sonotrode surface with a cloth.
Check the sonotrodes for wear and damage as described in section
5.4.1, dispose of damaged or worn sonotrodes as required by the reg-
ulations.
Z Suction tube:
Clean the suction tube (19) and rinse with a cleaning gun from both
ends. Make sure that the tube is free of residues inside and out
throughout its entire length.
Then dry the tube channel with compressed air and the outside with a
cloth.
7.2.4 Machine cleaning
Z Sonotrodes:
Due to the length and the small internal dimensions of the sono-
trode,machine cleaning is not recommended.
Z Transducer:
The transducer can be reprocessed manually. To prevent any damage
to the transducer , we recommend using the transducer reprocessing
basket (38011.501). See instruction manual GA--J 040.
